Severe Weather Likely Today

Let me start off and say today will be nothing like April 27.  That was a once in a lifetime event that many of us will never see ever again.  But the severe weather we will likely see from Friday afternoon through early Saturday morning will be significant.  During Friday afternoon supercell storms producing long track tornadoes is very possible.  And during Friday night through early Saturday morning a strong squall line likely producing high winds will come through the area.  Here is the day 1 severe weather outlook.

Here is the day 1 Tornado outlook.

And the day 1 wind outlook.

Please stay weather aware today.  Everyone will likely experience severe weather today.  Most of us will see high winds and some localized flooding.  But some of us might see a tornado today.  Be prepared to take action today if a weather warning is issued.  And follow me @nvyoung on Twitter and on Facebook at facebook.com/nvyoung for weather updates.
